18 Hour Hardcore Fest, held on Saturday May 16th, 1992, was the first US appearance of Altern 8. This flyer was part of the R.E.A.L. Events Collectors Edition of rave flyers, that came with a flexi record to help promote the event. This particular flexi vinyl contains a medley of Altern 8 tracks mixed by The Berserker, with a special guest appearance by MC Crazy Claire.

During these turbulent times… R.E.A.L would like to take you on an unbelievable outdoor journey, where you can escape the madness and reunite with your friends for an 18 hour festival of our music, our beliefs, our desire for a better world… This is our generation!

DJ’s on the bill were Frankie Bones, Adam X, Doc Martin, Matt C, Steve Loria, Markem X, Eli Star, Big Daddy Sean Perry, Beej, Sweedish Egil, and Markie Mark.

If you want the taste with juicy hits, you’ll love a premium bass style. Most others add water to concentrate but Citrusonic pure premium bass style is NOT from concentrate. There’s nothing added and nothing taken away. So SHAKE IT!

This mixed tape was recorded live, in May of 1992, at Citrusonic and features the sounds of Doc Martin. A number of the Citrusonic flyers, along with some T-Shirts, were designed by Fresh Jive. More mixes from Doc are available here

Old School cloBBer Designs (Part 1)

“Made tough and comfy for nocturnal activitys. A size guage color or feel to compliment any occasion: Being a smart ass to a Dennys waitress at 4am. Impressing your friends by sticking your left ear to a mega watt thumping Cerwin Vega. A neuron firing sugar rush from ten too many rasperry blowpops. Getting frisked by some over zealous renta cop. Winding down watching endless cartoons. Made in Los Angeles CA and available virtually nowhere.” – cloBBer

cloBBer – A Bubbling Pool of Mindless Groovology

cloBBer – Color Chemistry

Heavy cloBBer – Megawhat Optic Groovology

cloBBer – Hi Tech Low Budget Series
